Beautiful campus with excellent dorms

Visited for 5 days to get my daughter settled in her dorm. What a beautiful campus! I have visited many colleges the past two years (Harvard, Brown, Florida State, West Florida etc) and none were as beautiful as Amherst College. My daughter's dorm room looks like a country club compared to some of the ones we saw (FSU's looked like jail cells). Brown Univ. were terrible & the bathrooms didn't work. At Amherst, she has a beautiful view of the mountains, clean showers, beds, carpet, even hard wood floor in the hallways. The food at Valentine was excellent and the best of all was the polite, wonderful students & parents that we met. Now I know why my daughter choose Amherst College (besides it being the top liberal arts college in the country). Go Jeffs!

    A gem of a campus - at least if you go in the Fall
    The Amherst campus in the fall looks like something out of a movie set in New England at the turn of the 20th Century. The view out to Memorial Field is spectacular. Take in the view, admire the statue of Robert Frost and walk into town for dinner and a movie. Now you have done everything you need to do in Amherst.

    Nice campus to visit
    We enjoyed our walk through this historic campus. The buildings have a grace and charm of another era.
